GOING: S(7)

C.E READFORD CLASS 1 HANDICAP 1180m

Track: Soft 7   Rain (Max: 23)   Rail: True.  

Whiskey George and Performing Diva possess good early speed. SNATCHED (6) resumes after failing to handle the Ballarat Synthetic when a poor sixth over 1400m on June 11. Now in the Shelley Kirkpatrick stable. Blinkers come off and gets her chance with Hill's 4kg claim. PARTY BOSS (10) bounced off his good first up second, with a well-deserved maiden victory over 1175m at Albury. Starting to put it all together and shapes as a leading prospect. BOX OFFICE (1) fitter after three runs back and a win looks imminent. Ranged up late when a respectable third over 1000m at Albury. Looking for this trip and maps well. WHISKEY GEORGE (3) taken to the front at his second run back when he gripped on late to score over 1206m at Bathurst. Confidence is high and finds a very thin Class 1. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 6,10,1,3.
